1Peter:2:5-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
ye also ,
as living stones , [
are ]
built up a spiritual house ,
a holy priesthood ,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices ,
well pleasing to God by Jesus ,
the Christ .
*
Therefore ,
also it is contained in the scripture ,
Behold ,
I lay in Sion the chief corner stone ,
chosen ,
precious ;
and he that believes on him shall not be confounded .
*
Unto you ,
therefore ,
who believe [
he is ]
precious ;
but unto those who are disobedient ,
the stone which the builders disallowed ,
the same is made the head of the corner ,
*
and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense , [
even to those ]
who stumble at the word ,
not obeying in that for which they were ordained .
*
But ye are the chosen generation , [
a ]
royal priesthood , [
a ]
holy nation , [
an ]
acquired people ,
that ye should show forth the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light .
